There's a blood red moon in a sky of maroon
Hangin' over the city tonight
And everything that's ever gone wrong
is about to be set right
We've campaigned tried and toiled,
put up a hell of a fight
And now we're gonna
paint this town red tonight!
We came to this land for liberty,
we were held down by the great empire
But we rose up, threw their tea into the dirty sea
The American Revolution showed us
we could be strong
It happened right here in our hometown
Paint It Red Tonight
Paint It Red Tonight
The Founders of This Country
Want Us To Stand up and Fight,
so we're gonna
Paint It Red Tonight
History has a funny way of providing for our needs
And now with Brown we've started to plant that seed
Romney after Dukakis, the people had had enough
Now Patrick's seat will follow Ted Kennedy's
